I think the cold adds to the byte too

for staying up, pop doesn't hold a candle to coffee.

Get some "Shock" coffee. Brew it extra strong. Drink it black.
4 or 5 cups and you've got more than 2L of Dew worth of Caffeine :)

That said, I'm a bit of a Dew junkie as well....

Yeah. The colder the better.

Agreed, I use the word coke the same way. I like mine warm, no ice or refrigeration. IMO, cokes taste best when they are in glass bottles.

I dislike ice in any drink, if it is already cold, I don't want ice within 10 ft of my drink.

Around here, everyone calls it "pop". But if somebody calls it "soda", we know what they are talking about. But when I go places where everyone calls it "soda" and I call it "pop" they have to ask what they hell I'm talking about? What gives? Are "Soda" areas less intelligent? I would say yes based on my extensive research and experiences. /discussion

:confused:

Coke Zero? Diet? Coke c2 was like a "lite" and it failed.

It's pop around here. I go somewhere where its called soda and ask for pop. And I get "soda pop?"

Is it really that difficult?

Not sure about it being the ice for me, but soda definately tastes better in a glass with ice, than straight out of the can. At least to me.
